Why You Need Pre-Employment Medicals

Ensuring a safe and productive workplace starts with the right people. Pre-employment medicals are crucial for several reasons:

​

Confirm Fitness for Work 

Assess whether a potential employee is fit to perform their role effectively and safely.

​

Identify Risks to Your Business 

Uncover existing health issues that could impact an employee's performance or pose risks to your business. Understanding these factors helps prevent future liabilities.

​

Clarify Pre-Existing Conditions 

Document any pre-existing injuries or conditions to establish a clear baseline. This is essential for determining whether new injuries are work-related.

​

Establish Baseline Health Metrics

Conduct baseline tests, including spirometry and audiometry, to create a reference point for future assessments. This helps differentiate between work-related health changes and pre-existing conditions, ensuring compliance with WorkSafe and ACC regulations.
